Cross Country Season Comes To An End :(

Well... I certainly had a good time training and working with the Cross Country Runners this season.  We attended 2 meets and ran hard, smart and together at both.  In PE the students have been learning about participating at their best (HARD), using game and race strategies (SMART), and playing as a team (TOGETHER).  I think the training paid off.  Some highlights were our two top ten finishes at the CISVA meet (Grade 2... 7th and 9th) and when one of our runners finished a race with only one shoe.  Stay tuned for a cross country assembly as soon as I receive awards.

Thanks to all parents who drove this year and especially to KG for volunteering at the last minute to be a race official at the CISVA.

Did you know that during the CISVA meet the school receives a rank based on points?  But it is the least points that wins!  (First place receives only 1 point)  For us to place as well as we have shown last track season we will need to enter more intermediate students next year because each empty spot of the 6 for each grade costs us 75 points. Wow!
